# Deprecation: #85557 - PageRepository->getRootLine

See [forge#85557](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85557)

## Description

The public method `TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Page\PageRepository->getRootLine()` has been marked as
deprecated.

## Impact

Calling the method directly will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions calling this method directly.

## Migration

As `getRootLine()` acts as a simple wrapper around `RootlineUtility`, it is recommended to instantiate
the RootLineUtility directly and catch any specific exceptions directly.
